Bobby & the Xennials: 1991 Vol.2 | Strictly Bobness

The second mix of music from 1991. 75 tracks over 90 minutes. I’m gonna be real - my tastes were diverting massively at this point. The charts were full of rap, rave and rock, and in my mid-teens I was digging deeper in those worlds away from the chart selection. Pop music was mostly really bad tbh. But as club & rave culture evolved, the underground had become overground. In the UK if you knew someone with a satellite dish you could suddenly watch Yo MTV Raps and stuff. I was sneaking into 15 and 18 rated movies.

This is kinda like a channel hop through late night weekend TV, binging VHS tapes of Top Of The Pops, alternative radio, several film soundtracks and one of those weird compilations called “Rave Fever” that would also weirdly include Simply Red. You could say this is several mixtapes in one, but it’s definitely at least two.

A Rockin’ Rave Side and a New Jack Rap Side. Sort of.
